SYSTEMIC IMPLICATIONS OF LEAP AND AN IMPROVED TWO-PART CURSOR

www.canoncat.net/cat/Cat Leap and a Two-Part Cursor.txt

Jef Raskin on how the two-part cursor is better than the one we are used to and how cool Leap is.

I didn't really get the cursor part. The fact that the significant text formatting is simply stripped does not help. I should play with it in an emulator.

Leap is cool, yeah. But I didn't get how the copy-paste works.

Sometimes I imagine a cool cyberdeck in which I implement the coolest features from many sources, including the Canon Cat!

Bitters

Bitters is an open-source text editor. It's heavily inspired by the Canon Cat computer: it builds on the Cat's novel ideas, and adds some of it's own to the mix!
